And then Brigitte was released and I ran around curb stomping chumps while screaming mace to the face.

I miss those days before they murdered my girl.

It’s being a realist.

If I have to drag you through a task because you aren’t capable of doing it then it’s easier to just not give it to you to begin with and do it myself.

I am not qualified to help you with your issues.

Either find a way to work through your issues or don’t take on responsibilities that you can’t handle.

I know it sounds harsh, but I don’t have the tools to help you myself.

That’s not really an answer.

The things that make people feel/act this way are typically the really important stuff that has to get done or else there are consequences.

We can’t just accept ‘i just couldn’t’ in many of these situations.

My trick is melatonin and PBS YouTube videos, audio only. Ones I’ve seen before.

The audio is enough to keep my mind from running on it’s own and eventually the melatonin kicks in to take it down while it’s distracted by dinosaurs or whatever.

Melatonin on it’s own will just make me suffer being tired but not able to rest my mind enough to fall asleep.

Listening to something interesting like an audiobook will do the same.

It needs to be something that will catch my attention but also not be something I really want to hear more of.

Music doesn’t keep my mind from wandering like speech does.

Keep in mind that depending on the type of eye issue they may not need them all the time. In this example the person only needs then to read and it might actually make their vision worse to wear them when not.

It's true, game prices today are the same as they have been for the past 40 years for AAA titles.

I can't think of an industry which hasn't had a price raise in decades.

Gaming had managed to get by on this thanks to increasing market volume as gaming became more mainstream in addition to extra revenue streams like micro transactions. But it's hitting saturation now and won't keep counteracting inflation forever

Then don’t answer?

It’s not like sending the call to voicemail is going to hurt my feelings.

Asking to call seems redundant. The call is the ask.

Ohh, I’m fully aware.

I love messaging even I have a physical keyboard infront of me.

It’s specifically the mobile keyboards I hate.

Because I hate typing on mobile devices I don’t like texting.

If you try to have a conversation with me over text Imma either call you if it’s important or start giving you one word answers to everything.

Thankfully most people know better than to try and communicate with me in general!
